Had blood tests done - NO followup. Never received ANY results or ANY contact from the office about the test results. Tried to contact them but their phone number has been disconnected. Tried calling any number I could find on them from Google search - NO working numbers. Finally called a different office - they found a number on them that worked. Called that number but got a recording at 10:45 in the morning. Not impressed. I guess I need to find a new doctor - one that works during the day, and can be contacted.

I have been a patient of Dr. Austin's for approximately a year now and she is great!! Dr. Austin listens to me and works with me to manage my healthcare. I never feel like I am being "herded" through and I am so appreciative of her listening to my concerns and explaining things to me. I would highly recommend Dr. Austin to anyone looking for a caring compassionate professional who is genuinely concerned about the well being of her patients.
